Mason signs contract

Former KU point guard Frank Mason signed his NBA rookie contract with the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday before his squad’s Las Vegas Summer League game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced.

Terms were not disclosed. If the second-round pick signed for the rookie minimum, he would receive $543,471 for the 2017-18 season.

Mason, who had scored 24 points with six assists and five rebounds in Monday’s 95-92 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a sprained ankle four minutes into Wednesday’s contest. X-rays were negative. He did not return to the game. Mason, who is listed as 6-foot, not his college height of 5-11 by the Kings, averaged 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists through his first three summer league games. He did not score in his short 4-minute stint versus the Bucks in game four.

“He’s capable (of producing in the NBA),” Kings guard Buddy Hield told the Las Vegas Review Journal. “He’s tough, and you can’t teach that speed he’s got. I like what he’s been doing. He’s been aggressive.”

“(He’s the) toughest guy I’ve ever played with,” said former KU guard Wayne Selden, who recently signed a two-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. “There’s something about him. Everybody’s been telling him, ‘No’ for so long. He said he was going to win National Player of the Year before the year started. And he went out and did it. The guy’s always faced up against odds, but he always comes out strong. I’m not worried about him.”

Mason’s dad, Frank Jr., who watched his son on Wednesday in LAs Vegas, told the Review-Journal: “He definitely belongs. I think if he just continues to keep working and staying focused and keeps that chip on his shoulder, everything’s going to be all right. He’s going to have a hell of an NBA career.”
